Emilie Agreste (neé Graham de Vanily) was the leading actress in the film Solitude. She is also the wife of Gabriel Agreste, the mother of Adrien Agreste, the twin sister of Amelie Graham de Vanily and maternal aunt of Félix Graham de Vanily.
In several episodes and other canon sources, Emilie has been heavily implied to be a former Peacock Miraculous holder, with the Miraculous' former damaged nature being the cause of her coma. Currently, she is in Gabriel's repository, where she is being kept in a glass coffin.
Appearance
Physical appearance
Emilie is a thin and fair-skinned woman who greatly resembles her son. She has a small nose, a pointy chin, thin lips, upturned green eyes, thin eyebrows, and blond hair which she keeps in a side ponytail.
Civilian attire
Emilie wears a black blouse with a light pink jacket worn over it. On the coat, a brooch shaped like a flower with five petals with a pearl in the center can be seen. She also wears light pink business pants and black high heel shoes.

Personality
Not much is known about Emilie, except she is stated to be kindhearted and loving towards her family. Proven when they took up the use of the jewels the first thing they promised was to keep their son out of harms way. According to Gabriel, she was stubborn and headstrong when it came to other people's safety, similar to Adrien. Gabriel also says in the episode "Simon Says" that Emilie was "way too overly dramatic".
Since Gabriel called the use of the Peacock Miraculous "their" mistake, it's implied that Emilie knew that the jewel was damaged too. However, for some unknown reason she continued the use of the jewel either with or without her husband's knowledge, showing her recklessness, rebelliousness and determination like her son.
Abilities
As a civilian
Emilie is a professional actress, implying considerable skill in this field. After doing a duet with Plagg on the piano Adrien mentions in "Feast", that she always made him laugh like that meaning they use to do duets together implying at some point she learned to play the piano too.
As a Miraculous holder
If this past Peacock Miraculous holder had the same powers as the recent holder (Mayura), Emilie had enhanced physical abilities, a hand fan as her tool, and Amokization as her superpower.

- In “Félix”, it is said that Gabriel did not let Adrien go to Amelie's husband's funeral.
